biomes are characterized by its general climate and the type of plant and animal species that live there. These characteristics depend on where the biome is located. For e…xample the tropical rain forest biome in the Brazil known as the Amzon Rain forest is called a rain forest because of its plants and animals, but the factor that makes it possible for the area to have such a moist and dense atmosphere is because it is near the equator.
